Absorbing layers are sometimes required to be impractically thick in order to offer an accurate approximation of an absorbing boundary condition for the Helmholtz equation in a heterogeneous medium. It is always possible to reduce an…
In this paper we formulate the problem of elastodynamic transformation cloaking for Kirchhoff-Love plates and elastic plates with both the in-plane and out-of-plane displacements. A cloaking transformation maps the boundary-value problem of…
It is shown how a recently proposed method of cloaking is effective over a broad range of frequencies. The method is based on three or more active devices. The devices, while not radiating significantly, create a ``quiet zone'' between the…
The diffuse-domain, or smoothed boundary, method is an attractive approach for solving partial differential equations in complex geometries because of its simplicity and flexibility. In this method the complex geometry is embedded into a…

The behavior of atomic H in a semi-bounded space $z \geq 0$ with the condition of "not going through" the boundary (the surface $z=0$) for the electronic wavefunction (WF) is considered. It is shown that in a wide range of "not going…

Electromagnetic invisible devices usually designed by transformation optics are rather complicated in material parameters and not suitable for general applications. Recently a topology optimized cloak based on level-set method was proposed…
Simulational studies of spin glasses in the last decade have focussed on the so-called replicon exponent $\alpha$ as a means of determining whether the low-temperature phase of spin glasses is described by the replica symmetry breaking…
We demonstrate three simple cloaking devices that can hide very large spatial objects over the entire visible spectrum using only passive, off-the-shelf optics. The cloaked region for all of the devices exceeds 10^6 mm3 with the largest…
Based on electromagnetic and acoustic transformation theory, a new strategy has been presented in this article to implement double invisibility cloaking, which has not been done yet. By applying a combination of four conventional cloaking…
Cloaking using complementary media was suggested by Lai et al. in [8]. The study of this problem faces two difficulties. Firstly, this problem is unstable since the equations describing the phenomenon have sign changing coefficients, hence…
